[edit] Format
The format of the 2007 championship remains the same as in 2006:
12 counties participate in Tier 1 of the 2007 Championship. These teams are as follows:
- Leinster: Dublin, Kilkenny, Laois, Offaly, Wexford
- Munster: Clare, Cork, Limerick, Tipperary, Waterford
- Connacht: Galway
- Ulster: Antrim
The Leinster and Munster championships will be played as usual. The Leinster and Munster champions and runners-up advance directly to the All-Ireland Quarter-Finals. The six remaining teams in Leinster and Munster join Galway and Antrim in the eight-county All-Ireland qualifier series. The eight qualifier teams are divided into two groups of four teams each. Each team will play the others in the group (3 games for each county):
The top two teams in each group join the Leinster winners and runners-up and the Munster winners and runners-up in the All-Ireland Quarter-Finals. The pairings for these four games are as follows:
- (1) Leinster winners V. runners-up in one Qualifier group
- (2) Munster winners V. runners-up in the other Qualifier group
- (3) Leinster runners-up V. winners of one Qualifier group
- (4) Munster runners-up V. winners of the other Qualifier group
